Ratchet's POV
Wheeljack catches Sun Stream before he hits the floor.
"Wheeljack bring him to the medical bay. Arcee, could you move Skyla to your room?"
"Sure, I'm not using it since I have to stay at Jack's house," Arcee says.
Wheeljack, Arcee and I go to the medical bay. Acree pushes Skyla's bed to her room. Wheeljack places Sun Stream down on the berth. I attach an energon drip to him and the monitor to check his vitals. I scan him and see he has some minor internal injuries.
"What's wrong with him, Doc?" Wheeljack asks.
I tell Wheeljack about the internal injuries the scanner picked up as well as that I'm surprised that Sun Stream was able to stay alert as long as he did after the fight since his energon levels were so low. A few moments later June comes in the room. She has a bag in her hand.
"Where is Skyla?" June asks.
"She is in Arcee's room," I answer, "Her room the third one at the end of the hall."
"Okay thank you," June says.
Normal POV
On Cybertron in the playground outside an orphanage. Sky Dancer, a sunset orange and red femee, and her best friend, a four-year-old mech, Sun Stream are playing catch with a tiny lob ball. Sky Dancer throws it to him and is about to go over his head. Sun Stream takes a few steps back then jumps up into the air to catch it.
"Nice lob, Sky Dancer," Sun Stream says.
"Thanks, Sun Stream, I'm kind of sad that we won't get to play together anymore." Sky Dancer says.
Sun Stream throws the lob ball back to her then says, "Come on Sky Dancer, I know we'll see each other again once I get adopted by a nice mech or femee."
Sky Dancer get distracted by her fears of getting adopted today. The lob ball hits her in the chest, and she falls to the ground. The ball flies towards the building and hits the wall, Sun Stream runs over to his best friends and helps her up."Are you okay Sky Dancer?"
"Yes, Sun Stream, I'm okay." Sky Dancer says, "I'm just a little nervous about meeting the Mech that wants to adopt me."
"I heard from Roadrunner that Miss Silver Claw was talking with Mr. Pyrodome that the Mech is a medic, so he might teach you how to be a medic like him," Sun Stream says.
"I think Roadrunner told you what Miss Silver Claw and Mr. Pyrodome said that the grown-ups all a rumor,"
The duo hears the footsteps of Silver Claw and Pyrodome as they walk over to them. Sky Dancer turns around to face them.
"Hi, Miss Silver Claw and Mr. Pyrodome,"
"Sky Dancer, it's time for you and Sun Stream to say goodbye," Silver Claw says.
"Why?" Sun Stream asks.
"Because Mr. Ratchet is here to take Sky Dancer home with him," Pyrodome answers.
Sky Dancer and Sun Stream do their special handshake then hug. Silver Claw takes Sky Dancer's hand then she leads her to the entrance. They enter the room, Ratchet gets up from his chair and walks over to them. Sky Dancer lets go of Silver Claw's hand and hides behind her left leg.
"Is she normally this shy?" Ratchet asks.
"No, Ratchet, Sky Dancer is a very outgoing Sparkling." Silver Claw says, "She is a little nervous about meeting you, that's all,"
Ratchet kneels down when he sees Sky Dancer peak her head out slightly.
"My best friends Sun Stream heard from Roadrunner that Miss Silver Claw said that the Mech who is going to be my new Sire was a mech. Are you a medic Mr. Ratchet?" Sky Dancer asks.
"Yes, Sky Dancer I am a medic," Ratchet says.
"Can you teach me something on the way home?" Sky Dancer asks.
"Of course I can sweetspark," Ratchet says.
Sky Dancer's eyes light up, and she jumps into Ratchet's arm. He catches her then slowly stands up. Sky Dancer waves goodbye to Silver Claw as she and Ratchet leave the room. When they reach Ratchet's house, he sets Sky Dancer down on the porch.
"Ratchet, if you're my new Sire." Sky Dancer says, "Does that mean we're a family now?"
"Yes, Sky Dancer, we are a family." Ratchet answers.
Ratchet's POV
I wait about an hour before I go to Arcee's room to check on Skyla. I walk inside and go over to the bed. I scan her to see if the medicine June gave her was working to bring down her fever as well as help her body fight off the infection. I'm happy when I read my display screen and see that her body temperature is 102.
"Good, you should be feeling better in a few days," I whisper.
I turn around to leave when I hear her mumble the words "Sire" "Sun Stream" and "Family" in her sleep.
Is Skyla beginning to remember her life back on Cybertron as Sky Dancer? That would explain why my spark is racing. I already told the others that she is my adoptive daughter, but her Earth parents treated her so poorly. She might hate me for sending her to Earth.
